Abstract

A light funnel includes a transparent article having a first base surface, a second base surface, and a peripheral surface. The first base surface is characterized by a first surface area and the second base surface is characterized by a second surface area wherein the first surface area is greater than the second surface area. The light funnel further includes a reflecting coating disposed over the peripheral layer.
